On the Road Again

It was good seeing my bro on the Sunshine Coast yesterday.  Normally we visit a bookshop up there before we go to see him.  But this time we did not as last week we went up there despite the lunch being postponed.  We were delivering a couple of items we had sold to him.  We used the occasion to visit the bookshop we normally visit.
One thing that seems hard to believe is the number of new houses appearing next to the highway between Caboolture and Caloundra.  I did ask Merril something while we travelled that I do not believe she took seriously.  I asked why we declare there is a new house going up there and never something more obvious like there is an old house staying there (like in the suburbs).
It’s amazing how I relate everything back to what it was when loved ones were with us.  Many of the houses I now see were not there when my dad or other brother lived with me.  The place is very different to the way they knew it.
My brother had some computer work he wanted assistance with while we were there.  We also visited a mate of his for a signature.  Then after lunch we sent off a form that he was completing.
It seems weird that everything seems to be way harder than it needs to be.  All we wanted to do was send a form.  It insisted we sign into all sort of programs we use every day and do not need to sign in to.
Anyway we got it all done and came home for a rest.  I had friends coming around in the evening so I needed to be back for that.
The day was quieter than we first planned it to be because we had done something already that was to be a part of the day.  I was sort of pleased it was like that.  Sometimes real busy is good and sometimes quieter is good.  In this case quieter was good.
